LEARNING IN FOCUS: EDUCATION IN GREEN I NSTITUTE OF LEARNING IS THE HEART OF THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION IN GREENLAND - A LIVING & dynamic environment, where we educate teachers of the future and conduct research that shape the way in which we approach teaching. Our passion at the Institute of Learning is to prepare teachers, who not only will master the pedagogical and professional disciplines - but who also will understand the unique possibilities and challenges that encompass Greenlandic society. With the teacher's program as our focal point, we strive to graduate engaged and innovative teachers who can make a real change in the lives of children and young people. Through education, research and close cooperation with schools and institutions across Greenland, we work purposefully to ensure that the future generations receive an education that both extends beyond the classrooms and takes Greenland's unique cultural and geographical context into account. Institute of Learning is a focal point for dedicated researchers and educators, who contribute with new knowledge and innovative solutions every day. We conduct research in various topics and field - for example in bilingual teaching, inclusion, sustainability in education, and how technology can enrich teaching in the Arctic areas. Our researchers work at creating a larger understand of how teaching can best be adapted to Greenlandic conditions - but also as to how our knowledge can contribute to global debates about education in smaller communities and Arctic areas. A particular focus for us is to ensure that Greenlandic children and young people have the best opportunities to learn and develop. We examine as to how we can strengthen teaching environments, so that the pupils not only acquire skills, but also social and personal competencies that are necessary in a modern, global world. We are busy exploring the pedagogical tools to bolster creativity, curiosity and critical thinking in the primary schools - all with a starting point in the unique Greenlandic traditions and values. We work closely with both local and international experts to ensure that our students receive an education that is based in research - relevant and inspiring. Our researchers are active both here in Greenland and on the global stage, giving us access to a diversity of perspectives and innovative teaching methods. This gives our students the opportunity to learn from the best - while also participating in shaping future solutions. 52 Shaping the Arctic
